WASHINGTON. Nov. 17 (IP)
President Roosevelt said today
he hopes legislation requiring a
vcar's government service of the
nation's youth will get through
congress this winter.
At a news conference, Mr.
Roosevelt made no attempt to
say whether such service should
include girls as well as boys.
A questioner had asked about
girls. In a general aiscussiou
previously, the president said
the idea is for the nation's boys
to give one year of service to
their country.
Asked whether the training
should be military in nature, Mr.
Roosevelt said that depended
upon what the reporter meant
and asked: "Is cooking military;
is carpentry military?
The president punctured i
sueeestion that the year's serv
ice might be spread over sev
eral years by Having -me na
tion's youth put in a few weeks
at a time. That won't work, he
said.
Stressing the need for a train
ing year, Mr. Roosevelt said the
large percentage of young men
turned down in the draft for
physical reasons in this war is
appalling.
He recalled the physical ad
vantage gained by the youths
who went through the civilian
conservation corps program
early in the new deal and said
a universal training program
would give the nation a large
percentage of young people
trained to aeiena tne country in
case of future wars.
Mr. Roosevelt said the act
might require young people to
serve one year sometime be
tween tne ages of 18 and 23 or
something like that. That, he
said, would make it possible for
muiviuuais 10 aajust ineir per
sonal circumstances to their
year from home.
A lot of boys need to be
taught how to live with other
men and that takes time, the
president said when a reporter
asKea wneiner tne program
wouia De military training.

trees continued to pour in at the
home of Marshall Hoffman from
all parts of a nation increasingly
eager to help make this Nubbins'
happiest day.

win E. Crowd, Denver business
man, will fly to Cheyenne Sun
day to act as Santa Onus for the
railroad, which is giving the ail
ing youngster dozens of presents,
among them a pre-war model
automobile obtained with consid
erable difficulty. The railroad
also is providing a turkey with
trimmings for the Sunday din
ner. Mail carriers and expressmen
beat a path to the hoftmnn's
door. Already laid away were
three Christmas trees.
When a fourth arrived yes
terday, Hoffman gave it to a
small boy accompanying the de
liveryman. A small youngster knocked at
the door and handed in a large
ribbon-wrapped box. "Would
you put this under the tree?"
he asked, and vanished before
the Hoffmans could learn who
he was.
The Hoffmnns have little hooc
that their child will recover.
The father said an operation mst

a matter of waiting."
They've put the tnought aside
for a while now. Sunday is Nub
